Development Foundation MissionGrowing Giving Hearts, One Person, One Gift at a Time

The Grand Island Central Catholic Development Foundation serves as the financial investment arm of Central Catholic Schools. Through this body we grow our school’s long-term financial stability while always keeping in mind the goal of providing a Catholic education available to all. The foundation properly invests annual gifts from families, parish, alumni, and community members to generate sustainable earnings for our school. The foundation’s board of trustees oversees both the endowed and non-endowed funds reserved for the school as well as annual contributions for the operating budget.

Our Mission

The mission of Grand Island Central Catholic Development Foundation is to promote the understanding and support of the school’s mission among all constituents and obtain charitable gifts for Central Catholic Schools through friends and fundraising.

Impacting the Future

The Central Catholic Development Foundation is committed to making an impact in students’ lives by providing a Catholic-centered academic environment. To continue to accomplish this, we need your involvement and support for the long-term vitality of Grand Island Central Catholic.

Through the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses, GICC’s future remains strong but is in need of continued financial assistance. Help us make a difference in a child’s life by donating and/or volunteering today. Your contributions and involvement do make a difference!
